Fill Your Body Shop Bays This Week
Drivers who just had an accident search Google for help in the next 30 minutes. Our collision repair Google Ads put your shop at the top of those searches, generating phone calls and insurance estimates from day one.
Trusted by Collision Repair Shops Nationwide
Need ROs this month, not next quarter?
Google Ads puts your body shop in front of drivers the moment they search after a fender bender. When someone types "body shop near me" from the side of the road, your ad shows first and your phone rings.
The Problem
Sitting Empty After a DRP Loss
Losing a direct repair program slot leaves bays cold for weeks. SEO will not fix it before payroll is due.
Tow Yard Lottery
Waiting on tow operators or insurance carrier referrals means your RO count swings month to month. No control, no forecast.
Past Agency Burned $8K
Last team bid on 'auto repair' broad match and you paid for oil change clicks for three months. You stopped trusting paid ads.
MSO Chains Outspend You
National collision chains run aggressive Local Service Ads in your zip code. Drivers see them first and call them first.
The Solution
Collision PPC: Calls When Cars Hit Curbs
Google Ads catches drivers at the exact moment of need. A parking lot scrape, a rear-end collision, a hail hit. Your shop appears first, your phone rings, the vehicle is in your bay by Thursday.
RO-Level Tracking, Not Click Counting
We attribute spend down to the repair order. Every campaign tells you how many phone estimates booked, how many vehicles hit the bay, and what each RO cost you in ad dollars.
How Google Ads catches drivers right after impact
What is Collision PPC?
Paid search puts your auto body shop in the top ad slot the moment a driver searches after an accident. You only pay when someone actually clicks. No impressions billed, no wasted reach, just opportunities for a phone estimate.
How After-Accident Search Works
A driver gets rear-ended and pulls into a parking lot. They open their phone and type "body shop near me" or "auto collision repair [city]." Your ad shows above the map pack. They tap your call button. The vehicle is scheduled for an estimate before the tow truck arrives.
Local Service Ads & Google Guaranteed
Local Service Ads for body shops sit at the very top of mobile results with the Google Guaranteed badge. Drivers see your star rating and tap to call directly. You pay per lead, not per click, which is huge for after-accident traffic where every tap is a real estimate request.
Hail Surge & Seasonal Campaigns
When a hail storm rolls through your metro, demand for PDR and dent repair spikes 400% within 72 hours. We pre-build hail surge campaigns that go live the moment a storm hits, with budget caps that scale fast and zip code targeting tied to the storm path.
Body Shop PPC Numbers
Paid search delivers a predictable RO pipeline when the campaigns are run by people who understand insurance estimates, DRP carrier rules, and how drivers actually search after a wreck.

Why body shops invest in Google Ads
Paid search delivers a steady estimate pipeline you can throttle up during slow weeks and cap when bays are full. Here is why owners shift budget to it.
Same-Week Estimate Calls
Skip the multi-month organic ramp. Your collision repair ads run within 48 hours of approval and start collecting phone estimates the same week.
Zip-Code Level Targeting
Lock in your DRP-eligible zip codes and exclude markets where you do not deliver. Show ads only to drivers within your effective drive-time radius.
Surge Budget for Hail Events
Pre-built hail and storm campaigns sit dormant until weather hits. We flip them on within hours, cap budget at your bay capacity, and shut them down when the queue fills.
RO-Level Attribution
We map ad clicks to scheduled estimates, then to vehicles in the bay, then to closed ROs. You see cost per RO, not just cost per click.
Dayparted Call-Only Ads
After-accident searches peak between 7am and 9pm. We daypart call-only campaigns to match your front-desk hours so every dial reaches a real estimator.
High-Ticket Repair Focus
We bid heavy on frame work, structural collision, and full paint jobs where ROs average $3,500 and up. Light cosmetic queries get filtered out.
Full-service collision PPC management
Our expert team handles every layer of your paid acquisition stack. Strategy, build, daily bids, landing pages, call tracking, RO attribution.

RO-Level Reporting
Weekly reports tie each ad spend dollar to a scheduled estimate and a closed RO. You see what cost per repair order looks like, not just clicks and impressions.
Cancel Anytime
Month-to-month engagements. We earn the relationship through repair orders in the bay, not legal lock-in. Most owners stay because the math works.
Tow Partner Co-Promotion
Beyond paid ads we help wire up co-promotion campaigns with your local tow operators, so referral traffic and paid traffic both convert into estimates.
48-Hour Campaign Launch
From signed agreement to live ads takes 48 to 72 hours in most cases. Hail event campaigns can launch in under 12. Speed is how we beat the MSO consolidators.
Right now, MSO consolidators are taking your repair orders
Drivers in your zip code search for body shop help every day after parking lot taps, rear-end collisions, and hail hits. Without a paid ad slot, your shop is invisible. They book the national chain ranked first and the RO is gone for six weeks.

Common questions about collision PPC
What body shop owners actually ask before they invest in paid search.
Both, ideally. Local Service Ads sit above standard ads with a Google Guaranteed badge and bill per lead, which is ideal for after-accident calls. Standard search ads give you control over keywords, ad copy, and landing pages. Most of the body shops we work with stack both so the top half of the mobile screen is theirs.
